Certified by NSF and compliant with the NSF 42 standard for removing chlorine, taste and odor from your water for better tasting drinking water and ice cubes.

One of the problems consumers often run into is the premium cost of name brand items, something that perhaps regrettably doesn't change when the item being purchased is a regular consumable. In this case, the consumable is the water filter for my new Fridgidair refrigerator/freezer.These appliances come with a nicely located and easily handled filter cartridge slot which takes the Frigidair ULTRAWF filter. The problem you're dealing with is that to buy the Frigidaire version, even on Amazon & unless you find an incredible sale, you're going to pay $40+ a unit an item that requires changing monthly. Compound this the last such unit I purchased not operating as well (water quality was not quite to expected standard, and the filter was restricting flow from the outset), and I was interested in finding an alternative.Enter the Smart Choice Replacement SCWF3CTO. Now, often, I have to admit I subscribe to the adage "you get what you pay for" in terms of costs, and at 25% less ... well, caveat emptor applies. But the Smart Choice, when it arrived, excellent in every respect. It was, indeed, a "Smart Choice."A slightly more compact unit, the filter has operated superbly. It primed quickly and easily; and it cleaned up and has maintained the flow of fresh, filtered water exactly as it should. Indeed, it improved the water's taste over the previous Frigidair unit I had installed, and has kept taste that even despite a recent a recent water system chlorination by our local municipality. That, to me, is very impressive, indicative of the quality of Smart Choice's filtration, and I'll definitely be purchasing this filter again.If you, too have a Frigidaire or similar unit using this style of filtration, I fully recommend you too make the "Smart Choice" for yours!

Have purchased this replacement water filter many of times for my Frigidaire. Price is right and seems to be every bit as good as the manufacturers.

This is our second replacement using a Smart Choice refrigerator water filter. They work fine and last a long time. The size is equal to the original equipment.

It is replacing a ultrawf model filter so this one is shorter and weighs less but it fits perfectly with no leaks and the carbon dust went away fairly fast. The old filter had slowed the water flow to the point that the ice maker stopped working. We have ice again and everything seems fine. I haven’t tested the chlorine count yet. I will post an update when I do. The one I received was dry and seemed properly branded and assembled. Didn’t appear to be a knockoff. I have 2 pre filters , a sediment carbon, and a fluoride filter that also includes a carbon section, in the basement on the fridge line so I’m not really concerned about it much. But now the ice maker is full.

I bought my Frigidaire refrigerator about 3 years ago and all this time, I have been buying the Frigidaire brand filters for it. I got them from filters fast. com. The 1st year I bought them, I spent well over $200 for 3 UltraWF filters and 3 air/odor filters. I think a single ULTRAWF was running around $70. Then, when it was time to reorder, I went to their website and they were even more expensive! They wanted almost $80 for one filter. I see that they have since brought the price of the ULTRAWF filter down to around $42. (I checked today 6/2/19 before writing this review.) Maybe competitors like this are helping to keep them more honest so that they can stop gouging on the price of those filters and on the shipping. Or, maybe this filter is manufactured in another country where manufacturing costs are cheaper and perhaps the frigidaire brand ULTRAWF filters are manufactured in the USA were manufacturing costs are not as cheap. If that's the case, then I'm truly sorry. Of course I would like to be able to support American companies first but, I also have a budget to consider and I just wasn't willing to pay $80 a filter plus shipping at that time. And while I would prefer to stick to the original frigidaire brand filter, out of concern that an off brand version won't filter out as many chemicals as the original, this time I just had to go with my budget. I have to say that so far I am pleased. When I 1st received this filter, I noticed that it was slightly shorter than the original and I was concerned that it might not fit. But it snapped into place and once I ran off the gray water, it has worked fine and the water tastes great. Can I ever know for sure that it is of high quality and it's really filtering out all the chemicals it should? No. But, I guess you can say that there's no way that I can know that the Frigidaire brand was really doing that either. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. I thought that by buying a non-name brand filter, I might experience water flow issues but I have had none of that. Even though filters fast.com has come down in price, for my budget, I would still rather play $29 than $42 plus shipping. As a prime member, I can get these shipped for free and have it in 2 days and not have to wait for 5 days to get a filter. I think that filtersfast.com has also come down on the price of those little interior filters that go inside your refrigerator to keep odors down. They were overpriced as well on that site. I was able to find them on Amazon for little or nothing. I think I got a 6-pack for under $10.

I live in a big city, So I know they filter the water but I like having a secondary filter so I can just be that much more secure knowing that the water is safe to drink. It's super easy to change the filter out. Bada boom bada bing!

This generic filter is slightly longer than the original and a third of the price of the original model filter. Fits perfect.

Pretty great filter. It always last me about 6 months before I have to buy another. Can’t beat the price either. I will say after putting it in, I do have to cycle the water A LOT, but it’s not a big deal since I change it bi-annually.
